UP Gate chokes after new Delhi-Ghaziabad flyover opens

Ghaziabad | Wednesday | 18th October, 2017

Summary:

Only one side of the UP Gate flyover has been opened. "We were relieved when we read media reports 10 days ago that the NHAI will open up a portion of the flyover before Diwali. In rush hour, this is choking both the flyover and the service road below it.Moreover, traffic from the flyover and the service lane is funneling into a two-lane highway (widening work hasn't yet started after UP Gate), creating a bottleneck there anyway. We assumed it will enable seamless movement of traffic between Delhi and Ghaziabad, but exactly the opposite has happened," said Ashish Kumar, a resident of Indirapuram. If that U-turn is closed, then another is opened further down NH-24,M towards Indirapuram..
